Cupro/Cupra
Cupro(銅氨人造絲)=Cupra=Bemberg
日系品牌常寫 Cupra,歐美多用 Cupro,其實講嘅都係同一種布——把棉花加工剩下嘅「棉短絨」溶解後重新紡成極細長絲。

FAQ 快速答:
-
可機洗嗎?

易過敏?
✖ 無蛋白質殘留,對絲/羊毛敏感嘅人都可試。 -

原料係廢棉,溶劑 99% 回收,但仍屬化學再生;純粹天然派請轉棉麻,永續派可選 Tencel。
What Exactly Is Cupro?
“Feels like silk, looks like cotton, breathes like linen—yet it’s none of them.”
That old industry joke sums Cupro up pretty well.
“Cupro (cuprammonium rayon) = Cupra = Bemberg.
Japanese brands usually write ‘Cupra’, while Western markets say ‘Cupro’. They’re actually the same fabric—cotton linters (the short fibres left over after processing cotton) are dissolved and re‑spun into ultra‑fine filaments.

FAQ :
-
Machine‑washable?
Yes—cold water, laundry bag, gentle cycle. Or just dry‑clean if you’re lazy.
-
Prone to wrinkles?
Shake out and hang to dry; light steam at ≈ 120 °C erases creases. -
Pills easily?
No. It’s a continuous filament, so normal wear doesn’t fuzz up. -
Allergy‑friendly?
Yup. No animal proteins—safe for people who react to silk or wool. -
Eco‑friendly?
Raw material is waste cotton; solvent is 99 % recycled. Still a chemical process, but miles better than old‑school viscose. Eco‑purists can choose Tencel instead.
